[Solved] update/cancel in edit col

[eric]

I am using a user control as my edit form in a grid and I wanted to know if it is possible to have an update and cancel button in the edit column when an item is in edit mode.  I know this is done in the inplace edit mode, and I want to mimic this functionality.  I don't want to have to place save and cancel buttons in my user control.  Thanks.

Hello Eric,

You can add controls to your Edit column using the folliowing code:
aspx:

  <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UniqueName="EditColumn">
        </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Master")
        {
            GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)editItem.ParentItem;
            item["EditColumn"].Controls.Clear();
            LinkButton link1 = new LinkButton();
            link1.CommandName = "Update";
            link1.Text = "Update";
            Label lbl = new Label();
            lbl.Text = "  ";
            LinkButton link2 = new LinkButton();
            link2.CommandName = "Cancel";
            link2.Text = "Cancel";
            item["EditColumn"].Controls.AddAt(0, link1);
            item["EditColumn"].Controls.AddAt(1, lbl);
            item["EditColumn"].Controls.AddAt(2, link2);
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Princy, thank you the code works great, the only modification i made was to remove     " && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Master") "     from the if statement.  I am however getting some irregualr behavior in my update command function.  

e.item is not in edit mode when my update command function gets called.  Because of this I cannont correctly reference my user control as it returns null when i try to do ....... CType(e.Item.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID), UserControl)

Any thoughts?  Thanks again

when I said "e.item is not in edit mode when my update command function gets called."  I meant to say .... e.item.isineditmode is false, but e.edit is true

Hello Eric,

You can access the UserCOntrol with some modification in your code, as shown below:
vb:

Protected Sub rgGiveFeedback_UpdateCommand(source As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs)

    Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
    Dim MyUserControl As UserControl = DirectCast(item.EditFormItem.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID), UserControl)

    Dim editControl As ucEditGiveFeedBack = DirectCast(MyUserControl, ucEditGiveFeedBack)
    editControl.save()
End Sub

Thanks
Princy.
